Toss'd, torn, and trunk-lining, but still with some ink,

Now squat city misses their albums expand,

And woo the worn rhymer for "something off-hand";

No longer with stinted effrontery fraught,

Bucklersbury now seeks what St. James's once sought,

And (O, what a classical haunt for a bard!)

The Poet of Fashion dines out in Barge-yard.


WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR.

(1775-1864.)
